number seven three steps remember when
accessing the internet was even slower
than Jeff Goldblum’s drunken speech
pattern
can you imagine from the same cost as
three pizzas you own a computer okay
that versions not the real deal this is
you can own a computer the iMac is less
than $30 a month but back to accessing
the internet things started to change
when the iMac hit store shelves narrated
by mr. goldbloom this ad sums up how to
get on the Internet in three steps
plug in get connected and that’s
actually it there is no step three
there’s no step four there’s no step
three
this commercial is quick and simplistic
which is exactly how we like our
internet service it showed the world
that getting online didn’t have to feel
like a triathlon and that the world wide
web was only a couple of easy steps away
[Music]
number six there’s an app for that
there’s an app for just about anything
only on the iPhone it’s hard to believe
that humankind survived for so many
years without iPhones or iOS
applications for that matter whenever
people have a problem their initial
instinct is to check the App Store for a
solution the possibilities for
applications are endless which this
advertisement for the iPhone 3G suggests
in a clever concise manner want to know
how many calories are in a meal there’s
an app for that need help locating your
car there’s even an app for that now if
only there were a way to stay updated on
watch mojos daily top 10 lists oh wait
there’s definitely an app for that
the WatchMojo app it was hard available

three four one two three four tell me
yeah kids today probably can’t even
fathom a world where people had to
listen to music on compact disc players
and watch music videos on MTV with the
iPod Nano music lovers got everything
they could possibly ask for in one
convenient pocket-sized package in
addition to showcasing such
groundbreaking technology this
commercial stuck with consumers thanks
to an infectious ly catchy song by indie
pop singer Feist Oh
the minute you hear one two three four
you won’t be able to get it out of your
head as a result you’ll inevitably feel
compelled to visit your local Apple
store to pick up the latest iPod Nano
there is also little doubt that one two
three four will skyrocket to the top of
your playlist one two three fold number
four crazy ones here’s to the crazy ones
The Misfits the rebels if you’re going
to change the world you need to be crazy
enough to think different this inspiring
commercial pays tribute to all the
people that had the audacity to
challenge the norm from Albert Einstein
to Martin Luther King jr. to John Lennon
they’re not fond and they have no
respect for the status quo two versions
of this commercial were originally
produced Oscar winner Richard Dreyfuss
narrated the one that ultimately aired
the unaired version was narrated by
Steve Jobs who had just returned as
Apple’s CEO while some may see them as
the crazy ones
we see genius jobs favored the dreyfus
voiceover since the ad was about Apple
and not himself whenever we watch this
commercial though it’s hard not to think
of jobs and how his unique vision
revolutionized the future because the
people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world are the ones
who do
[Music]
number three get a Mac hello I’m a Mac
I’m a PC
it’s the life-changing question everyone
must eventually ask him or herself
should I buy a Mac or a PC this enduring
advertising campaign made a compelling
case for you to get a Mac portraying
Apple’s golden boy as an adorable
hipster and Microsoft’s PC as a dated
model well you know what I’ll put Mac on
he’ll tell you that I run Vista fast
I’ll touch them but I can’t say hello
I’m a Mac yeah dude pcs definitely
faster Justin Long and John Hodgman make
a perfect Odd Couple striking just the
right balance between buddies and rivals
okay easy PC you are a wizard with
numbers and you dress like a gentleman
PC well Mac I guess you are a little
better creative stuff thank you even
though it’s completely juvenile and
waste of time
granted there were a few critics that
felt these ads came off as too smug
thanks to clever writing in the
chemistry between the actors though
these vignettes ultimately proved that
there’s nothing wrong with a little
friendly competition
Mac can do all the office stuff you can
do for PC this is a good thing you sure
release you and Mac are so compatible I
want to transfer all my files over to
Mac you’ve a squeeze number two
silhouette 3:10 Mahan account with me
because you look so fine that I really
want to make you like many of Apple’s
other commercials this ad campaign was
so simple and yet so cool
[Music]
depicting a series of silhouettes
rocking out with their iPods against
bright backgrounds these commercials
became iconic almost instantly
[Music]
and dog me and well
over the years Bob Dylan mm you too and
other recording artists would lend their
vocals and silhouettes to Apple
everybody gonna dance tonight everybody
combining hit songs with stylish imagery
the silhouette ads really made it feel
as if the music was leaping out of your
screen whenever we close our eyes while
listening to our iTunes playlist dancing
silhouettes immediately come to mind
before we get to our top pick here are
some honorable mentions some people
think the penting 2 is the fastest
processor in the world it says I have a
once-in-a-lifetime investment
opportunity for the making of many of
millions of currency would you like to
reply uh yeah walls have come down
opportunity has gone up introducing the
thinner lighter more powerful iPad air
[Music]
so in this very strange world hoping
aqua learn about what is true and fake
number one 1984
[Music]
it’s pretty ironic that apples original
Macintosh computer was considered a
financial disappointment upon initial
release but people still remember this
legendary Super Bowl commercial over 30
years later masterfully directed by
Ridley Scott 1984 takes place in a
dystopian society governed by an
oppressive leader as a runner throws a
sledgehammer at the big brother like
symbol the system is broken and the
people are freed from conformity
symbolic and cinematic this ad was ahead
of its time in many respects the same
could be said about Steve Jobs who would
bring us even greater things in the
years to come which is phenomenal it
works like magic
1984 will always be remembered as a
turning point for Apple advertising and
technology in general On January 24
Apple computer will introduce Macintosh
and you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like
1984 do you agree with our list what’s
